[issue9068] "from . import *"

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

That's because while it is syntactically allowed, it is semantically disallowed. The grammar rules shown in the docs is a generalization of the actual grammar used to build the parser so that we can take shortcuts with it to simply not have rules that will pass the parser but fail in the compiler.
